Coarse is kind of an understatement, this pad is stiff and very high texture. Could almost be used for orange peal removal or extremely heavy hazing and scratching. None of those comments are a negative, you need a stiff pad that cuts fast this is the one. Defiantly takes some time to get use to the feel and the height and ability of these pads but worth it.

This pad has cuts my time down in more ways than one. I also use this with Rupes Zephir Gloss Coares Gel Compound & Rupes Big Foot Random Orbital Polisher LHR-15ES. It will take time to get use to Rupes buffers & pads but will be worth it in the long run.
